Game-Changing VriskaStucking

My first post-retcon Vriska song. It probably will not be the last.

Original song: Astonishing (from Little Women)

Lyrics

Who is he? Who is he to be stopping me? With a flash he is stopping me? The nerve, the gall!

This is not Not what was meant to be How could he ruin it all With just one hit?

I thought I knew him Thought that he knew me When did that change? What did I miss?

I lost, When I thought all along That I could win the game, could cheat How could I be so wrong?

Then I woke I woke to my sister's sword If I can't fix my mess What was it for?

Or was it justice That Terezi almost stabbed me through the heart I thought I had it That I could change the world How can I win the prize or even start When all my plans have come apart?

I thought thrill was all I'd ever want The glory all I'd ever need. Now nothing feels the way it was before And I don't know how to proceed I thought that I was meant for something more I've got to know if I can be Game-changing

There's a light That I am meant to hold A light like nothing I have known I can feel it Though it's hard to see I've got to find it on my own

Even now I feel its heat upon my skin. A light of passion that pulls me from within, A light that I am nervous to let in. There must be some way I can be Game-changing Game-changing

I'll change my ways I've got all my debts to pay I'll do something unexpected and unknown I'll do what's right in my own way Today

Here I go And there's no turning back My greatest venture has begun Sure I've fucked up But I've got brand new plans To shine as brightly as the sun

Jane is lying there peacefully NOW, but if you recall, the tiaratop was able to control her body in the GO timeline while she was asleep. What if she'll suddenly rise and start strangling someone like she did to Aranea?

I also wonder whether Brain Ghost Dirk will appear in the upcoming dialoglog between Jake and Tavrosprite. He could make references to the GO timeline, informing Jake in a form of internal third-person about some of the events that transpired there.

Ooh! Another thought hit me. What if Jake is able to conjure a Brain Ghost Rufio(h) from Tavros' mind? That would make him a kind of mind reader to some extent. Heh, and then imagine Terezi following their conversation. "Hey! What are you looking at???????" "YOU WOULDN'T B3LI3V3 M3."

Also, it must be awkward for Jake, he doesn't know anyone there but Tavrosprite and Arquiusprite! And given that the first he saw of Arquiusprite must've been during the trickster act, when Dirk broke up with him, he may not want to talk to the guy. That reminds me. Does this mean that Tavrosprite was dragged along by Jane from LOCAH during the trickster act?

Maybe Jake is asking Tavrosprite about Vriska, the blue spider girl. If that's so, I hope he tells Jake "Wouldn't go for it if I were you". On the other hand, maybe Vriska is thinking about John, seeing his dancestor so close by.
